The Joplin Globe continued its welcome change of policy today with its page-one story on the death of local cartoonist Nic Frising.
Frising, with his editorial cartoons in the Webb City Sentinel, and the cartoons and caricatures he left with thousands of area residents, made a big impact. As with the recent page-one story on the death of Granny Shaffer, the Globe is not only showing respect for people who had an impact, but it is also doing something that is much appreciated by its readers.
